Cycling in Coquitlam

Cycling is one mode of micromobility, which refers to the use of small, lightweight transportation options typically designed for short- and medium-distance travel, including bikes, scooters, and their electrified forms.

The City of Coquitlam is committed to sustainable modes of transportation including cycling and has over 100 km of signed and marked micromobility routes. 

Existing Micromobility Facilities

Explore Coquitlam's micromobility network to plan your route using:

• Tri-Cities Cycling Map which provides useful information involving parking bikes at SkyTrain stations and bringing bikes onto transit.
• Interactive regional bike map on the CoquitlamConnect app for a reference on the go.

Our streets accommodate micromobility, walking and driving and the City encourages all users to be mindful of all modes when sharing our streets.

For more information on various types of bike facilities, cycling signs/markings and safe cycling tips, please refer to the Coquitlam's Bike Route Information Guide (PDF). 

Public bike maintenance stations are available at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex and City Centre Aquatic Complex.
